Today U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) released the following statement after the House overwhelmingly passed legislation that would ban TikTok on all American devices, if the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) linked ByteDance refuses to sell the app.
NOW is the time to act on TikTok and stop China spying. The Senate should take up this bill immediately https://t.co/PstR0rY9xi

Senator Hawley has been a leader against CCP-linked TikTok. In December 2022, Senator Hawley's legislation the No TikTok on Federal Devices Act was signed into law—the first law taking action against TikTok by banning it on government devices.
Senator Hawley previously introduced legislation to ban TikTok on all American devices. His No TikTok on American Devices Act was blocked multiple times in the Senate, fueled by Big Tech's agenda.
